The ending to How I Learned to Fly: During a huge televised flying race, Jack loses his ability to fly and it seems like Wilson has once again proven that he's better than Jack at everything.

In Deep Trouble, the relationship between Billy and the Mermaid is particularly touching, especially considering the series' general formula of horror and melancholy.

In The Headless Ghost, the titular character is established as a vicious trouble maker, but after the protagonists find his head, he appears to say "thank you" before departing to the afterlife. This is subverted in the TV episode, where he is a bratty Ungrateful Bastard.

In the book version of The Haunted Mask II, Steve's initial idea was to use his mask to scare the kids on the soccer team that he's supposed to manage (as punishment for a prank) because they always misbehave. By the time Halloween comes around and the mask has bonded to Steve's face, he still plans on going through with his attempt to scare the kids. However, rather than being freaked out or acting hostile, the kids try to help Steve because they think he really is an old man. All Steve's attempts to scare them just lead to the kids trying to be as considerate and kind as they can be, and eventually, Steve asks for them to help him make it to Carly Beth's house. Steve knew the only thing that could stop the mask was his brotherly love for Carly.

The ending to TV version of Vampire Breath, where it's revealed that the vampire chasing the protagonists was really just their long-lost grandfather.

Slappy of all people gets a minor one in the Horror Land book, The Streets of Panic Park. It says enough when arguably the most selfish bastard in Stine's canon keeps the kids focused on getting to the Whirlwind ride to escape Panic Park, and was even willing to let the kids go first. Prior to that, he also insulted the Menace just to make the kids laugh and bring the Fear Meter down to ensure their survival. Granted, that latter one was partially him just being himself and getting back at a double-crosser, but the fact that he's helping at all speaks volumes.
